I’m sorry but I don’t understand your exact problem so I can’t create a video to help you. I can see some potential problems in your screenshots and created some images that may help you.

Your scene is really dark. Do you use physically correct light values?

If not please set the lights intensity value to lumens and set every light to 400-800 lumens. That should reduce the ISO noise.

You have chosen the RC_Camera_SecurityCamera_Budget camera for your scene. This camera is extremely distorted and blurry by design. If you want better image quality but still the look of a security camera use RC_Camera_Phone_Budget or RC_Camera_Drone_Budget. If you want really great image quality use RC_Camera_Cinema_Highend.

If you want to completely disable noise, distortion and blur please disable the following settings:

I hope this helps you get the look you are looking for. If not please try to explain what you want different.

Hey, welcome aboard and thank you for getting in contact!

You are using the SecurityCamera_Budget preset, the most distorted, blurry and noisy preset of all of them. If you want a cleaner look, maybe try using the Phone_Budget or Drone_Budget for some better image quality. If you want to disable any of the effects separately, you can do that in the RealCameraActor under Cinematographer Features. Disable noise with ISO Grain, distortion with Barrel/Pincushion Distortion and blurriness with Lens - Unsharpness. If you own Cinematographer PRO you can create a copy of the Lens and edit the settings until you are happy with the results. I hope this information gives you some options to get your desired results, we are happy to help with any other upcoming questions!
